With so many of the big YouTubers pushing Leicas lately, I wanted to challenge myself to put together a Sony build that was compact, light weight, beautiful....and just has that something special...like a Leica. I think I succeeded!

I started with a Sony A7C body and added a Sony 40mm f2.5 G lens. This is a great setup already, but I wanted to add a few finishing touches...so I added a square lens hood, a magnetic lens filter kit from K&F Concepts, and leather strap from Clever Supply Co.

I'm so happy with the way it turned out and it is inspiring me to get out there and shoot. It has quickly become my daily carry and my favorite camera to travel with. It's PERFECT for street photography!
